HS Code 65040000
Hats And Other Headgear, Plaited Or Assembled By Strips Of Any Material
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 65040000 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Hats And Other Headgear, Plaited Or Assembled By Strips Of Any Material is classified under HS code 65040000, which sits in heading 6504 (Hats and other headgear; plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed) of chapter 65 (Headgear and parts thereof).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, which is the figure to multiply by the assessable value of your consignment.
The assessable value is normally the CIF value of the goods plus landing charges. Duties and taxes are applied in a defined order rather than simply added together, which is why the TTI is not the plain sum of the individual rates.
Recorded imports
Between December 2025 and May 2026, NBR recorded commercial imports under 65040000 in 6 of 6 months, totalling 1,889 kg at an assessable value of BDT 275,722. That is an average of BDT 146 per kilogram — useful as a rough check on whether a declared value looks plausible. In May 2026 it was the 3,906th largest of 4,066 tariff lines by assessable value.
| Month | Net weight | Assessable value | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|

Bonded imports. A further 2,232 kg worth BDT 2,444,832 entered under the bonded-warehouse regime in the same period — goods brought in duty-free as inputs on the undertaking that they leave again as exports, which in Bangladesh overwhelmingly means ready-made garments. Bonded entries account for 89.9% of the total value imported under this code, the rest entering commercially.

How this line compares
Chapter 65 contains 8 tariff lines, averaging 64.25%. At 64.25%, 65040000 sits almost exactly at that average. It is the 1st most heavily taxed line in the chapter.
Across the whole Operative Tariff the mean is 61.08%, so this line is dearer than the typical import by 3.17 points.
No supplementary duty applies here, which is the normal case — SD is zero on 78% of the tariff. Where it does apply it usually dominates every other component.
